I see. I'm starting to piece this together. You play the guitar. And when you try playing an acoustic guitar, it sounds like crap. You noticed you only sound good with effects when you play an electric guitar. Therefore, you feel the need to argue that Muse can only sound good on electric guitar too. Because you are equally skilled, obviously.

Go to any open mic event and 9 out of 10 of the acts will sound exactly the same in terms of their guitar playing. Just generic strum, strummy strummers just about capable of changing chords in time with their song - if they want something to sound different they just play exactly the same chords/rhythm but with a capo on fret X...

Fair enough. Different strokes and all that. But you know, clearly there are a lot of interesting, unique things to do with any instrument, and making blanket statements like "acoustic guitar is boring" is silly.

He said that, but I kinda feel like he's actually just a bit of a twat.

So City of Delusion and Nature_01 are crap then because they use acoustic?

Looks like you DO learn something new every day.

I wouldn't say Nature_01 is a good song. City of Delusion is great but in case you haven't noticed, not only acoustic features in that song. It has colour in overall and not plain boring acoustic strumming sound.

City of Delusion is great but in case you haven't noticed, not only acoustic features in that song.

You may remember that the post that got you started on this tangent said "I would love some more acoustic guitars." No one said anything about "only acoustic features". Stop moving the goal posts. You are wrong.

Feeding the trolls is like feeding the ducks. It doesn't help me personally, but it's just great seeing them so happy.

Stop saying I'm a troll. And I meant when a whole song is constructed stripped down with only acoustic, bass and drums. And I'm not moving goal posts either. I just simply don't want Muse to go in that direction where we won't even hear a guitar amplified.
